HS
Email Security Engineer at Logic Infosecurity
Experience high detection and user-friendly policies with reliable email security implementation
The system is not user-friendly because you have to create policies that are mapped in a dictionary. As an IT engineer, I understand how it works, but explaining it to another IT person can be difficult. Having more user-friendly dashboards would improve the work experience. In Mimecast Email Security, checking policies in the dictionary or gateway is very complicated, and not everyone understands this process. If you examine the Check Point portal, it's user-friendly with easily accessible tabs that anyone can explore. With Mimecast Email Security, making changes might impact existing mailboxes. The portal is complicated compared to Check Point's user-friendly interface.

Archives emails and files, providing indexes for searching the archives
The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's really quite user-friendly. In terms of technical superiority and the product itself, there are no complaints. It is really cutting edge."
"Based on overall experience, Mimecast Email Security is the best solution for traditional gateways."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"I would rate Mimecast Email Security a nine out of ten."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to use and easy to set up."
"Mimecast has some good support services in place."
"The Large File Send feature comes in handy when you have to send fairly large attachments."
"If I had to mention one or two things that bring the biggest benefit, I would say the security of the emails and dealing with everything."
"Everything is in one console, including the security and managing the data there, such as mailboxes, email, et cetera - everything."
"The tool streamlines data discovery processes for compliance by setting up a gateway to copy every incoming and outgoing email to the archive independently of the mailbox. This ensures that even if a user deletes their mailbox, the emails are still available in the archive, making it a compliant solution for monitoring all incoming and outgoing emails. Additionally, it offers the ability to place legal holds on important emails."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"The system is not user-friendly because you have to create policies that are mapped in a dictionary."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The attachment scanning feature doesn't work properly."
"They should improve the cookies management feature."
"Mimecast Email Security is somewhat expensive compared to the competition in the Indian market, and the local presence is lacking as they do not have a local representative currently."
"Their support should be improved. They are notorious for sending you to knowledge-based articles rather than actually talking to you about the problem you're reporting."
"The price of the solution is expensive. It can improve by reducing the price."
"While it's quick and easy, the initial setup could be more user-friendly."
"The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year."
"Technical support could be better."
"Technical support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"Its price is in the middle range. It is a structured licensing model where there are various components that you can add or choose to add or not."
"The price of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is expensive."
"The product has good pricing in terms of return on investment."
"The licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
"It's an expensive solution."
"I'm always going to say the price needs to be lower, but it's reasonable."
"Compared to the other products in the market, it is neither cheap but nor very expensive. I would rate it somewhere in the middle, 5 out of 10."
"The tool is expensive, and I rate its price as eight out of ten. It might not be very expensive. However, comparing it with something that's free or already included in the price is challenging, like the Office 365 archive mailbox. Previously, this was part of the subscription price. Now, it's an additional cost, typically covered by departments like legal or compliance rather than IT."
